<span>Depending on the equation there can be three possible cases:
1- There can be 1 specific solution for the variable:
2x+4= 3
where x= -1/2
2- there can be an infinite amount of solutions:
2x+x-2=3x-3+1
where x=x
3- there can be no answer:
3+2x-x=5-3x+4x
where the solution doesn't exist</span>
5 is a constant - you pay $5 before you go on any of the waterslides.
let the number of waterslides Steven went on = x
5 +2x =17 ($5 plus $2 per waterslide ride = 17)
Answer a is correct.
By the way, Steven went on 6 waterslide rides.
The slope of a trend line that passes through the points (5, 80) and (7, 65) is -7.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the line is passing through two points (x1, y1) and (X2, y2). The slope (m) can be calculated using following formula.

In this case,
x1 = 5
x2 = 7
y1 = 80
y2 = 65
By putting the values in formula, we get


or
m = -7.5
Therefore, the slope of a trend line that passes through the points (5, 80) and (7, 65) is -7.5.

4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132
Step 1 -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132 Distribute Property of Equality
Step 2: –12 = -72x + 132 equivalent
Step 3: -144 = -72x Subtraction Property of equality
Step 4: 2 = x Equivalent / Division property of equality
